Not condoms?

Certainly not. FAR too expensive. And then there's the phallic aspect of the finished product. Great Aunt Carlotta would NOT approve.

Girl needs help, not humiliation.

Most of the commentators feel that she needs further humiliation.

Better be careful, otherwise you too will spend the rest of your life eating nothing but pizza. That is what causes this "disorder" as you call it..... being sick to the stomach.

Sainsbury’s cafe chefs told shopper they couldn’t scramble an egg for him... because they were only qualified to fry it

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the real reason they didn't make his coveted scrambled eggs was because they couldn't be arsed, and because it seems that scrambled eggs weren't actually on the menu.

In a kitchen area like those in supermarket cafés they have very specific areas for cooking different items. I would suspect that none of them include frying pans (eggs cooked on hot plate, bacon ditto, sausages grilled, other things oven cooked in large trays) and so they would find it very difficult to do. If they aren't chefs or food prep trainees they may well have never been told how to scramble eggs, anyway. It's not a full-on restaurant.

Even if it was a restaurant what a massive sense of entitlement you must have to spit your dummy out because you cannot get your every whim catered too. Having watched a few of Gordon "fucking" Ramsey's shows I can imagine some choice responses to someone demanding a dish that wasn't on the menu.

Oh and St Delia agrees with my method .

Quote:

1. For scrambled eggs for one, use 2 large eggs and ½ oz (10 g) butter, plus salt and pepper. For more people, just multiply the ingredients accordingly. The method remains the same but more eggs will obviously take longer to cook. For scrambled eggs, the fresher the eggs the better, but up to two weeks old is fine. First of all, break the eggs into a small bowl and use a fork to lightly blend the yolks into the whites, whisking gently. Add a good seasoning of salt and freshly milled black pepper. Now take a small, heavy-based saucepan and place it over a medium heat – this is really the only rule; if the heat is too high, the eggs will become dry and flaky. Add half the butter to the pan and swirl it around so that the base and about 1 inch (2.5 cm) of the sides of the pan are moistened with it.

Nope. Heavy based sautée pan for me every time. Also reduces washing up. Relatively high heat for hen's eggs, medium for duck, or they do go a bit rubbery. Also add a dash of milk to help break up the albumen. The secret, like omelettes, is to stop cooking as soon as possible.

On top of that, if they don't know how to do it but followed instructions, there could be a possible health risk, no?

Malcolm Armsteen · **Posted:** Fri Mar 30, 2012 9:35 am

A lot of places have a policy of hard-cooking eggs, certainly. Making scrambled eggs badly is a culinary, rather than health issue, though.

They must eat a hell of a lot of eggs - look how many they've got there.

On the most important subject of the day - scrambled eggs - my wife does them in a bowl in the microwave!

Stop it every 10 seconds or so to give them a good stir and you're done in less than a minute.

Using one of our daughter's plastic bowls means it doesn't even stick.

I know, I know.... I was appalled too. But it actually does work!

You can picture him down the pub that night telling his friends this story with absolute outrage. Maybe after they struggled to give a shit he thought the Daily Mail would would indulge his petty sense of entitlement.

I really am struggling to think of a more tedious happy/sadface story in recent memory.

You are quite right he is a total plonker.
